“The tears I feel today, I'll wait to shed tomorrow. Though I'll not sleep this night, Nor find surcease from sorrow. My eyes must keep their sight: I dare not be tear-blinded. I must be free to talk, Not choked with grief, clear-minded. My mouth cannot betray, The anguish that I know. Yes, I'll keep my tears til later: But my grief will never go.” - Anne McCaffrey

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Mykala Cymone Pearson a beautiful and beloved daughter and sister.

Mykala was a radiant soul… full of laughter, life, and love. She had a unique way of bringing joy into every room she entered. She loved deeply, gave freely, and lived boldly. To know her was to love her. She kept us laughing with that unforgettable smile and her one-of-a-kind sense of humor. Truly, she was the heartbeat of our family.

Though our hearts are broken, we rejoice in knowing that her spirit rests in peace, and her memory will forever live on in all of us who were blessed to share life with her.

On behalf of the entire family, thank you for your love, your prayers, and your support during this time. Your kind words and thoughtful gestures have truly been a comfort.
